Hi all. I did the stupidest thing ever! I rm-rf my apache2 directory and now when i try to install apache2 or lamp it says everything is okay but there is no apache2 dir. What can i do to fix it. Btw i'm with Ubuntu Server 11.10. Thank you.

If you're using Apache 2.2, then you could try the following:

sudo apt-get --reinstall install apache2.2-common

That should replace any missing configuration files.

[puf]

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
.: 51: Can't open /etc/apache2/envvars

another error...

I get the same thing. According to dpkg, it should belong to the package apache2.2-common, but re-installing had no effect. I'm not sure of a way around. It sure looks like a bug.

i made to reinstall apache and get it working now i cant enable my public_html folder, i do chmode to the folder with 775 and try to

cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
sudo ln -s ../mods-available/userdir.load
sudo ln -s ../mods-available/userdir.conf

but it's still give me

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /~sublime on this server.

This apache will kill me!

Try enabling the module using a2enmod:

sudo a2enmod userdir

Also make sure to reload your server configuration after doing so.

its says that module is already enabled... maybe something with permissions can be done

You can open up a terminal and have the error messages running realtime. It might give more details.

tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

But mod_userdir should work out of the box. Are your home directory and public_html set to 755 or 775?
